Hi,
YT video plays at the lowest resolution even though 1080p is available and selected in options. Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZPCUmTzV5Y
It was similar on Android (YT application), but there you can choose 1080p.
Kodi also chooses 360p, but you can manually change it to 720p (where is 1080p ?!?).
PC instantly selects the highest 1080p resolution.

Can you fix it somehow?

Thank you for your help.

Enable the option "use adaptive streams" in preferences -> network. You can also try to select "mpv + youtube_dl" in the "support for video sites" option.

Choosing "mpv + youtube_dl" helped. I'm still curious why this happens only with some movies...

Thank you.
